I am amazed at how much we put other peoples lives in front of our own. I know I am guilty of it from time to time. But I also know how damn important it is to have "me time". A time where I can focus on me, and reconnect to who I am, my wants and needs as a person. A time when I can unplug from the GO and slow down, evaluate my mind, body and spirit. Focus on my passions and just be me.
What is "me time"? It is time that you take out for yourself doing something that you love that is just for you. It could be anything, going to the spa, reading a book in peace, fishing, learning a passion you always wanted. So skydiving, hiking, race a car. Going to the movies alone and uninterrupted.... what ever your little heart desires. Something that when you think about it makes you smile.
I bring this us because I know SSOOOO many people who NEVER do this for themselves. They live for everyone else because its what they think that they need to do. Well guess what, that old saying is true, "All work and no play makes ___(insert name)____ a dull boy/girl. If you don't recharge your passion, your energy you start losing the brightness and power for life. You lose your light. You lose the passion for the things that recharge yourself.
You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others!
If you don't then you are just robbing them of the true authentic you. Your not living your life with 100% of you. Therefore your just giving them half-ass effort. Now don't think that I am being ungrateful for the MANY great things that you are doing. But don't get lost in others stuff to lose your light. Weather it is work, or kids, or family, no matter what it is if you find take the time to recharge yourself with me time, you brighten your light and it makes everyone's life around you so much brighter. Be the light that helps shine the way. Recharge your life to shine on others.
Here is a short video that can kinda show you what I mean. We all keep moving and doing things that we think we should do. We lose passion and our color. Don't let your life suck the energy/color from you. Find things that brings more color to you life so you can spread that color to other people.
